A View From the Stage

on BBC Radio 4 FM

How much does an actor's performance in any play depend on the director, the rest of the cast, the theatre, the audience? Ian McKellen , who opens this week as Coriolanus at the National
Theatre, has been described as the 'finest classical actor of his generation', but he also has a reputation for his outspoken views on the state of his profession and for his passionate belief in the need to involve actors in the running of theatres.
